The Air Jordan X represents an important landmark in Jordan's basketball career. This represents Jordan's first retirement from the NBA. Inscribed on the soles of the shoes is a list of Jordan's accomplishments up to 1993. The list of accomplishments is as follows (1985–1994): 1985 Rookie Of The Year 1986 63 Points 1987 Scoring Title 1988 Dunk Contest Champion 1989 All Defensive Team 1990 Scored 69 Points 1991 Won MVP/Championship 1992 Won MVP/Championship 1993 Won MVP/Championship 1994 Beyond This shoe was also known as "the comeback sneaker" because while the Air Jordan X was in the production stages, Jordan was seemingly finished with basketball and had taken up the game of baseball. But as baseball went on strike, Jordan was left with nothing to do and decided to return to the game he had dominated for so many years. He returned to the game of basketball on March 19, 1995 wearing the Air Jordan X’s, but unlike many other of his shoes which had the number “23” engraved in them, the X’s had the number “45” on them because Jordan was forced to wear the number 45 because his old number 23 had been retired. Being the 10th anniversary of Air Jordans, different colorways of the 10s were released in different cities. The Shoe was retro'd in the year 2005 in the following colorways: Air Jordan 10 Retro Steel White / Black – Light Steel Grey – Varsity Red Air Jordan X Retro White / Obsidian – Ice Blue – Varsity Red Air Jordan X Retro Black / White Air Jordan X Retro White / Linen – University Blue Air Jordan 10 Retro Women's White / Ice Green – Varsity Red Air Jordan 10 Retro White / Varsity Red – Light Steel Grey Air Jordan X Retro Women's White / Medium Violet – Light Graphite Air Jordan 10 Retro Black / Dark Shadow – True Red Countdown Pack The "Chicago Bulls" color way will release in the Fall of 2011.
